The required laboratory complements the lecture material with a comparison of frog, chick, and pig embryos. Histological, preserved, and selected living materials are studied to illustrate gametogenesis, fertilization, and development of the vertebrate embryo from zygote through the differentiation of organ systems in amphibian, avian and mammalian embryos. Accurate drawings and descriptions will be recorded in a lab notebook to be used to compare and contrast various embryological specimens.
